"Congratulations, John. The farthest I've run is the marathon, the last one at age 72, so far. But I would never run an ultra-marathon, given the punishment my body takes in marathons.
Just checking, John, but you don't happen…"

Dale Headley replied to Professor Robert's discussion 'An Atheist's Creed'"I couldn't have put it better myself. My only caution would be in regards to what is meant here by the "cosmos." If it is referring only to the observable universe, now or in the future, I would take mild exception.…"
Dale Headley replied to Holo Gram's discussion 'Should illegal aliens in the US be denied medical care?'"Any country that denies medical care to people who lack documents proving their citizenship should be ashamed of itself. As a purely practical matter, it doesn't make sense NOT to treat diseases that could become an epidemic that infects…"
Dale Headley replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'I have a question...'"Yes, I do, because some of us have the capacity to feel empathy and compassion for other people and animals. That feeling can be sufficiently strong to induce us to act solely in the interest of others without consideration for…"
Simon Paynton replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"I firmly believe that if women are empowered, it is for the benefit of everyone. It means that men are free to be people too; society suddenly has access to the wisdom of women; and kids grow up more happy and healthy. Freedom all round…"

Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
